I just want to say that my sister and I had such a great day. We caught up with relatives we hadn't seen or heard from in 50 years. It was a very emotional day for me and I enjoyed every minute. I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful buffet and the venue was great too.
Frank, a big thankyou to you for all your hard work. I do hope we can do this again.
Thanks to everyone for the wonderful memories.

Frank.
Thankyou so much for this wonderful day. I'm sure you had no idea how successful this would be when you had the inspiration to set up the website. We met people we barely new, but then realised they knew many people WE both knew, and this was the connection. Personally I had more connections than Tom, but then that would be down to the Paper Shop. Just one regret. When we went back to see Pat Barnahm and his wife again they had gone, so if you are reading this either of you please get in touch because I would love to be able to have a proper conversation about what we have done in our lives. Mick and Margaret Prestedge, how amazing the connection is with us, yet we had not met for years and had no idea how this would have panned out when you sat at our table.
The food was outstanding, the venue was great, and all in all a very good day for everyone. Frank, if you are considering doing this all again next year then we'll be at the top of the list.
THANKYOU SO MUCH.

What a great day, you must be delighted the way it turned out, you worked so hard to make it such a success. WELL DONE. Although there were only three of us from Beltran, we met lots of people, some from way back others new. It was fun reminiscing and sharing memories from our childhood in Sands End. Fulham was and still is a great place to live, long may it continue. The old cliche of ' you take the person out of Fulham but not Fulham out the person ' is so true as it proved at the reunion. Thanks for all your effort and dedication, you are a STAR. long may SER continue.
P.S. The photos were a great idea!
Love Haze

Well, Frank, you and all of your helpers pulled it off, and how you did it. The venue was super, the food was fantastic and our old Fulhamites luck held out with the weather. It was truly a great day that i feel sure all will remember and maybe it could become annual as more and more people get to know and join the site. Thats of course if you can take the strain. How you did it all for the money i do not know but i have to say Frank you did a great job and please on behalf of all of us thank all of your helpers and probable sponsors as well, it was great.
Although i did not know many people i managed to find someone i worked with in Peterborough Rd at H.N.Barnes which was nice, had lots of conversations about the old schools and met a lady who had a photo of my brother Roy and my old mum at the V.E. party in our Street which was lovely, which made it all worthwhile.Thanks again Frank for a great day and your dedication to the site and long may it continue.
